How to Make 2 Day Herb Marinated Pimiento Stuffed Olives

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the herbs to infuse the oil.
  3. While the marinade simmers, pack your jar (approximately 1 pint) with pimiento-stuffed olives.
  4. Carefully pour the hot marinade over the olives, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  5. Seal the jar tightly. Gently rotate the jar a few times to distribute the marinade evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for 48 hours, giving the jar a gentle flip every 12 hours to ensure even flavor penetration.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy these incredibly flavorful olives! They're perfect alongside other appetizers.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
